In this important moment for humanity, community, and Mother Earth, I am
asking for your help, John.

We have a huge opportunity right now to help nominate a fierce advocate
for Indigenous peoples and the climate to a key position in the Biden
Administration.

[ [link removed] ]Can you add your name to endorse climate advocate Rep. Deb Haaland as
the first Indigenous woman to lead the Department of the Interior?

For years, the Department of the Interior has prioritized the demands of
the energy and extractive industries over the needs of everyday people,
Indigenous nations, and the planet. It’s time for change.

That’s why Native Organizers Alliance is proud to partner with 350.org to
endorse Rep. Deb Haaland, an enrolled citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, to
be the next Secretary of the Interior.

Over 120 Indigenous Tribal leaders have called on the Biden Administration
to appoint Haaland to the post, but it will take a massive grassroots
campaign to reach President-elect Biden and win this nomination.

So now we must plan and organize, not just politically, but also with the
determination, strength, and courage to demand Indigenous voices help to
lead the fight against the climate crisis. Tribal leadership and Native
communities are the keys to winning this struggle, so I am asking:

[ [link removed] ]Your endorsement will help send a message to the incoming Biden
administration that it’s time for Native leadership in the Department of
the Interior. Please add your name now.

Rep. Deb Haaland has been a fierce advocate and organizer in Indian
Country for decades. In addition, her work in the House Natural Resources
Committee has proven that she will serve the interests of all people,
dedicate herself to preserving public lands, and honor Nation-to-Nation
relations with tribes.

The Department of the Interior oversees public lands, manages Indian Trust
funds, and houses the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but there has never been a
Native member of a U.S. President’s Cabinet.

Rep. Haaland’s nomination would not only reverse the damage done by the
Trump Administration and their unrelenting efforts reduce environmental
protections on our public lands and undermine tribal sovereignty, but also
signal an acknowledgement of the enormous role Indigenous people play in
combating climate change.

[ [link removed] ]We need as many individuals as possible showing their support. Will you
sign our letter now endorsing Rep. Deb Haaland for Secretary of the
Interior?

Together, we can ensure that Indigenous women and climate activists like
Rep. Haaland are the voices leading our government and fighting for our
planet. Thank you again for your help today.

Hawwih,

Judith LeBlanc (Caddo Nation)
Director, Native Organizers Alliance
